Southern University wide receiver, Juamorris Stewart, has agreed to sign a free agent deal with the Arizona Cardinals after being bypassed in NFL Draft.

Stewart wrapped up one of the most successful stints in the history of Southern University football. He finished his career as SU's All-Time leading pass catcher with 201 career receptions. He also had 2,668 career receiving yards and 25 touchdowns.

In the 2009 season alone, Stewart led the SWAC with 81 catches for 1,028 yards and 11 touchdowns.

"I talked to a bunch of teams, but they have a young group and (the Cardinals) like throwing the ball," Stewart said. "I'm just hoping I can come in and show what I can do. I'm happy and very excited."

Stewart said he and his agent, Tyron Collins, haven't yet worked out the details with Arizona, but Stewart said he believes he'll get a two- or three-year deal.

The Cardinals' rookie minicamp begins Thursday.
